You need to apply Hydrocortisone mixed antibiotic ointments on the wounds. Meet your doctor immediately. Stop Bathing

Hi Rajveer9390 I am also having same condition as yours, so did above mentioned methods given by NOWHARD solved this weird looking thing?? I have stopped wearing bandage since doc said not necessary and told to go for baths in my 1st week checkup, said no need for further dressing and I can start taking baths. Still I didn't take bath directly except for sponge bath since m scared of hurting because of stitches.

Hi Rajveer, I have gone through the same thing, I just let it out of the bandages and applied diluted antiseptic liquid like dettol or Savlon, so just do that and it should clear on its own

Take care, hope you feel better!

Best Wishes!

Hey rajveer, your penis seems normal and as per me it was not infected. Dont close the wound completely.

Simply apply bentadine ointment and put cotton and place surgery tape on it.

putting bandage is not a good option. Leave it open. Meet your surgeon and discuss.

I had almost the same issue. I believe that the yellowish gunk is called Slough and it prevents your skin from healing well.

I used a cottonbud to scrape off those yellowish fluid to expose the reddish wound before applying antibiotic ointment to it. It healed within two days.

Not what you're looking for?
